บท 53: Hang In There.

"Thunder beast, take this herb and soak it first with warm water." Kyra shoves him a few herb panes to his chest.

"It's Jett, Lady Kyra. My human's name is Jett." Jett tries to make it clear about how Kyra call him. It will confuse other people if they heard it.

Especially now they're in the lab where it's connected with the library and beside them five, another stranger man is sitting in the library.

Even though he may look like he doesn't care with them but he can tell that person are listening to every conversation between them.

"Oh, sorry...I forgot your name is Jett." Kyra said and continue to make the preparation.

They spend almost two hours to boiling the herb to make the extract before she mixes it and put some other ingredient into it.

Zsssssss…

"Ergh..the smell is bad." Yuina immediately pinches her nose and open the window to make sure the smell will go out of the lab room.

"Cerulean, take those ampules. I want to measure their doses." Kyra extended her hand. It supposed to not be this bad. The smelling. What is it that she forget?

She runs out of time.

"Here." Cerulean give the empty ampule to her. After putting the right dose into the ampule, Kyra looks at the three of them.

"Let's try them out. Hopefully, this will be successful."

Nod their head, all of them follow her to their secret barrack. She was so anxious that she did not notice that Asahi also following them to their barrack.

He wants to see it himself. Did she achieve to make a cure?

…

Drrrrrrr

"Jett, Cerulean and Roux. Take this ampule and give them the cure." Kyra at the side of Hayden ready to count on his pulse.

Three of them give the cure at the exact time. In a minute, their face turns a bit more normal than before. Their lips start to turn from bluish to a bit reddish.

Kyra opens again Hayden's mouth and sniff.

"The drug smell seems a bit fade away..but..they still not make any progress much except their blood has been neutralized. They still in a comatose state." Kyra commented and rub her chin after that.

"I think, there's a plant which is very helpful with this comatose state. However, this plant is very rare. It only grows on the cliff and matured after three years of cultivating. The last plant I saw is on the White cliff. But to go there is a very risk." Asahi suddenly spoke up make the five of them turn to him with full of question on their mind.

"Uh…why are you here?" Kyra started it first.

"Who are you, young man?" Roux also asks while take a precaution move to protect them all.

"Whoa! calm down. I just give you a solution. Why make a serious face." He put both of his hand on the air. He also doesn't know why he follows them. Maybe curiosity in his mind makes him do so.

However, he was a bit impressed by Kyra's knowledge. She seems more experience despite her face which looks like a dumb girl. He assumes Kyra must have been facing such a situation a lot. That's why she knew how to manage her time and make a cure done in the fastest way.

"You're an outsider. How should I trust you that you saying the truth?" Kyra lifts her eyebrow to him.

"Tch! I will not joke around if it's the matter of lives, girl." He smirks at her and took out an ancient scroll from his sleeve.

"Here. Take a good look and read it. This is the only copy in this kingdom." He said and throw the scroll to Kyra before he continues again.

"Since the scroll only state that its expertise in comatose, our chief did not plant it in our palace herb garden. Besides, this plant takes much time to grow and mature. I never consider this herb before. But after I saw you pick the herb and see the magnificent result, the only item left is this herb. Or so, I thought."

Kyra rolling out the script and reads it carefully. She was good at memorizing the script.

"Are you sure this is the right herb?" Kyra squinted her eyes a bit.

"I didn't dare say it is a hundred percent right. But we can give it a try." He shrugged his shoulder.

"Where did you say you saw this herb bush?" Jett interrupts.

"White cliff. It is near the coast of this province. It is very slippery and dangerous. The last time I saw is around two to three years before. So I guess it already matured enough to pluck."

"How do we know if it is already matured?" Cerulean look at him.

"Hmm..the leaves turn into white and the flower turns into slightly pink color. If we use the unmatured herb, it's not gonna work. This herb is very sensitive. It also can only last for a few hours to extract it. If we're late then the cure won't work."

"How do we go there?"

"Well..to go there, it at least takes three hours. By the time you return here, I doubt we have enough time to extract it."

Kyra pinches her forehead. "You know what? You're annoying." She rolled her eyes to Asahi.

"Huh? I'm trying to help you is annoying to you? Did your brain working or not?"

"Why didn't you plant the herb here? You kinda stupid don't you think?" She let out her anger to him. She feels like her head is gonna explode and now she needs to find a way on how to retrieve the herb with less time.

"What…the…"

"Kyra.," Yuina interject their conversation.

"I'll go there and pluck the plant. You don't have to worry. Jett and others will help me. Right?" She turns to look at the three of them.

"Ah yes, yes. Of course, we will help you, My Kin..no, I mean, My Lady." Jett stuttered a bit.

"How-" Yuina immediately covers Kyra's mouth and whisper to her.

"They are a dragon, Kyra. They must know a trick or two, right?"

Kyra nods her head and Asahi just watched them both without care less about what they whispered.

"Then, can you leave right now? We short of time." Kyra asks the three dragons.

"Of course, My lady." Jett, Cerulean and Roux stand up and ready to go out of the room.

"Ah! Kyra. Can you draw me this herb looks? I don't know how it looks like though." Yuina said when she suddenly remembers that she doesn't know the look of the herb.

"Sure." Kyra took an empty scroll inside the room and a brush with ink. She draws it and passes it to Yuina.

"This herb is known as White Moon Lily. If you see anything that similar to its name and the description that 'that man' just said, then it must be it."

"Okay. I will try to find it and bring it back before you know it. Meanwhile..please, take care of them."

"Sure. I won't let you be a widow. You love him, don't you?" Kyra teases Yuina.

Seeing that Yuina overcome her fragile personality just to make sure that her Hayden and other guardian save..she must love her man so much. She even dares to take the risk to go to the White Cliff.

Yuina just smiles and she turns around to look at Hayden.

She touches his large hand and brings it close to her lips. She kisses on his knuckles and whispers to him.

"I'll be returning. Hang in there."
